10 Best On-Screen Bromance of All Time

Friendship Day just passed us by, and although we would like to pretend that we do not have time for such tosh – don’t we sometimes feel grateful for our good pals in a moment of clarity?

Let’s keep that bromance in the air and look at the best on-screen friendships of all time.

Aamir Khan and Salman Khan - They might not have made another movie after the cult success of ‘Andaaz Apna Apna’ – but they have maintained an off-screen friendship over the years. If things go according to plan, we might just see this duo together in a cameo role in ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’. We have not forgotten the laughs and hysterics that defined ‘AAA’ – and the awesome chemistry these two shared.

Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi - Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi undoubtedly share an awesome bromance chemistry – they are brilliant as wingmen and sidekicks to each other’s purposes. And they have done this in not less than eight movies together! Starting from ‘Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.’ in 2003 to the upcoming ‘Total Dhamaal’ in 2015 – their coming together ensures some good entertainment every time.

Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller - Bringing in some Hollywood flavor, Owen Wilson just seems incomplete without Ben Stiller. From ‘Zoolander’ to ‘Night at the Museum’ – these two are just perfect foils for each other and their comic timing renders you helpless with chuckles. After eight movies together, they will always live in audience’s memories as a pair.

Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty - These two action stars have acted in well over a dozen movies together – starting out in action dramas and then taking on more comic roles. We loved their love-hate relationship in ‘Hera Pheri’ and its sequel. Although off-screen, they do not share that friendship – Sunil Shetty having accused Akshay Kumar of editing out his parts.

Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau - Like Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller, another favorite Hollywood duo is Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau. Vaughn’s witticism is nicely balanced by Favreau’s cynicism – making for great chemistry. Some mention-worthy movies are ‘The Break-Up’ and ‘Couples Retreat’.

Govinda and Kader Khan - Onscreen bromance need not even be friendship always – for instance, Govinda and Kader Khan. They played father-son, father-in-law – son-in-law and what not – but they live in our memory as one of the greatest onscreen duos of the 90s. They might not have made excellent cinema, but when it came to pure entertainment – these two delivered. Their most memorable movies were ‘Haseena Maan Jayegi’ and ‘Raja Babu’.

Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider - An off-screen friendship worth mentioning is that between Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider - so much so that even when they are doing their individual films, the other person always make a small cameo in them. Sandler did it in Schneider’s ‘The Hot Chick’ and Schneider in Sandler’s ‘The Water Boy’.

John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan - Bromance teetering on the edge of gay – that was John and Abhishek’s chemistry in ‘Dostana’. While they were antagonistic cop and thief in ‘Dhoom’, they shared a funny relationship in ‘Dostana’. And the fun is not over; they will be back in the sequel of the movie in 2014.

Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra - These two actors probably define bromance in Bollywood. Their iconic song ‘Yeh Dosti’ in Sholay speaks volumes for male friendship. Both of them have acted together in over a dozen movies, but they will always be remembered as the best buddies Jai and Veeru.

Kal Penn and John Cho - We end the list with the pot-smoking Harold and Kumar. Even without the herb effect, these two share a strong chemistry. Lazy and rebellious Kumar and a hard-working, no-nonsense Harold – these two have had the weirdest of adventures and they have stuck together through thick and thin. If that isn’t friendship, we don’t know what is.
